Unit 1. Did it Rain Last Night?

a. Asking for Details of a Past Incident with Interrogative Questions

Before we can talk about a past incident, we must know details of the
incident. We can collect the details by asking questions.. We can ask
Interrogative (Yes/No) or Wh- questions. In this unit, we will focus on
the Interrogative (Yes/No) questions.

One way to ask the ‘Yes/No’ questions is to use the auxiliary verb
‘Did’. The auxiliary is followed by a subject and the base form of the main
verb. The other way to ask the ‘Yes/No’ questions is by using past tense
to be: ‘was’ and ‘were’, when there is no main verb in the questions. We
use ‘was’ for ‘He, She, It and I’, while ‘were’ for ‘They, We and You’.
